A big criticism of the Nintendo Switch has been the absence of non-gaming features, including support for streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon video. The company addressed this issue in January, telling fans this functionality was “being considered/more then likely.” And, speaking to The Washington Post this morning, Nintendo America's chief operating officer, Reggie Fils-Aime reiterated these promises — but didn’t offer a timeline. “We’re talking to a range of companies about other services, companies like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon — things that will come in time,” said Fils-Aime. “In our view, these are not differentiators. What differentiates us is the way you play with the Nintendo Switch and what you can play. And that will continue to be our focus into the future as we continue driving this platform.”
